Description
America's favorite entertainer, Tim Allen, is at it again as commodities broker Michael Cromwell, king of the Wall Street jungle. With money, power, and an engagement to a beautiful fashion designer, he has it all. But when Michael travels to the Amazon to finalize the divorce from his first wife -- a jungle doctor -- she reveals that he also has a blowdart-shooting, giant-spider-carrying, 13-year-old son, Mimi-Siku. Cultures clash when Mimi is entrusted by his tribal chief to bring back fire from the Statue of Liberty. Back home in New York, Michael must somehow convince Mimi that pets are not for eating and it's not nice to chase people with your killer spider. But when Michael's partner (Martin Short) crosses a Russian mob boss in a coffee bean deal, Mimi and Michael must use all their jungle skills in a hysterical father/son rescue. Now you can bring home the hilarious new hit comedy adventure from the studio that brought you HOME IMPROVEMENT and the box office smash THE SANTA CLAUSE.

 Jungle to unbelievable April 9, 2003

Jungle to Jungle is a modern version of Little Indian Big City. (see my review). Although this film is funnier, better acted(Tim Allen rocks!), and more entertaining, I didn't feel the boy(Sam Hungington) that played Mimi was born in the jungle at all. Don't get me wrong, he is a wonderful actor and the girls will love his bod, although he did a great job he didn't come across on film as believable. In Little Indian Big City the boy was believable. Sam Huntington spoke as well as a Harvard lawyer and jungle boys don't speak that well since they told us straight out that he couldn't read.
This film takes place in New York City. Little Indian Big City takes place in Paris. Mimi climbs the Statue of Liberty, pins the neighbors pigeon against the wall, cooks his dad's friends prize fish and yes, gets the girl.
The weird thing about this film I think: A half naked boy walks down the street in New York and nothin happens to him? Unbelievable.
I liked the film because of Tim Allen and Sam Huntington. Allen is funny and Huntington is, well.. see the film. You will like it.
 Great movie...troubling DVD January 27, 2003

"Jungle 2 Jungle" is a highly underrated comedy starring Tim Allen. It's a feel good family film and it's also very funny.Disney's DVD treatment of this personal favorite is a huge disappointment though. For starters, the packaging says "1.33:1 Fullscreen." Well, it's NOT. It's actually in 1.85:1 widescreen...which would be GREAT, but it's non-anamorphic. (Disney seems to be the ONLY studio still putting out non-enhanced letterbox transfers). The packaging also lists the wrong running time, and the film seems to have been put on two layers but still occupy under 5 GB. The video transfer could be better, but it's the audio portion that loses serious points. You see, even though this film was released in theaters with a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track, the DVD only contains a Dolby 2.0 Surround audio track. Most unfortunate, as the film has a very nice 5.1 Dolby Digital track on the anamorphic-but-PAL Region 4 (Australia) DVD, even the laserdisc did. And of course most troubling is the lack of extra features. While I would have been shocked at a Tim Allen/John Pasquin commentary, including the very cool trailer wouldn't have killed them. Nope, not even a trailer is here to be found, and there is some really good making-of material available on this film - location footage, interviews with the cast and crew, B-Roll Footage. Disney included it on their CD-ROM presskit, but nothing is here on the DVD. Very unfortunate that I waited nearly six years for this to come to DVD, and this is the best Disney could do. If it wasn't such an enjoyable film, it'd have gotten even less points. But, at least it's widescreen, despite the packaging and Disney's site info. Shame that they couldn't have put even a little bit of effort into making this DVD nice.
 Another great film gets Panned and Scanned on DVD August 3, 2002

Unlike most people, I have been looking forward to the DVD release of "Jungle 2 Jungle" for quite some time. When it was finally announced as coming to DVD in Region 1 this October, I was thrilled. I was hoping for some nice extras and a solid anamorphic widescreen transfer. But alas, Jungle 2 Jungle falls victim to one of a boatload of bad decisions by Disney's DVD department. This DVD will be Pan & Scan only. And barebones. It's a complete shame that Disney doesn't understand that people who like certain movies and wish to own them do not wish to own them cut up for the size of soon-to-be-outdated TVs. It was widescreen on laserdisc, but an even better alternative is to go with the European DVD versions which are widescreen. The Region 2 and Region 4 DVD releases are both barebones, but the movie is in anamorphic widescreen and not cut up. After several delays, Jungle 2 Jungle finally makes its American DVD debut, and yet it falls short of what has already been released elsewhere in the world a few years ago! If you like this movie, you'll pass on this DVD and show Disney that you want all films (no matter what genre) to be in their original aspect ratio (be it Academy Ratio as with classic films or Widescreen as it is for the great majority of modern cinema) on DVD. What a letdown!

I wanted to say first off, that this truly is a great comedy, a great family comedy. And yes, it is possibly Tim Allen's best. But to those who say you shouldn't buy this DVD of it, simply because of no extras, and the lack of an enhancement for widescreen, I say forget it. Buy it. It doesn't look bad. Possibly a little bit reddish at times, but that could be what the director wanted in the first place.
Disney screw it up again! October 14, 2002

He we go again, from Angels in the outfield having an anamorfic menu, and then poor non animorphic movie, they continue the stupidity. JUNGLE TO JUNGLE is a great family movie with no doubt wonderful wide views from the top of mountains and new york, so why not just put out yet another full screen version?
The Disney DVD department contiue to screw things like this movie, the Three Musketeers and so many more....
Get with the program Disney, wide screen is here to stay, animorphic is the only way to screen it, so for gods sake do it..
DONT BUY THIS DVD>>>
